Faḍāʾil al-Ashhur al-Thalātha 1, narration 13

Translation

Al-Muẓaffar b. Jaʿfar b. al-Muẓaffar al-ʿAlawī al-Samarqandī narrated to us, saying that Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. Masʿud al-ʿAyyāshī narrated to him among others, from his father, saying that al-Ḥusayn b. Ishkīb narrated to him among others, from Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Kūfī, from Abī Jamīla al-Mufaḍḍal b. Ṣāliḥ, from Abī Ramḥa al-Ḥaḍramī, who said: “I heard Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣādiq (as) saying: “On the Day of Judgement, a call will be issued from within the Throne (saying as thus): “Where are the people of Rajab?,” so a group of people will stand up whose faces are shining for the throng assembled, wearing pearl and ruby-crusted crowns of kingship. Each of them will be accompanied by a thousand angels on their left and a thousand on their right, all saying: “Congratulations, o’ servant of Allāh, for the grace of Allāh (azwj) has been bestowed upon you!” Then Allāh (jj) Himself will call to them: “O’ my servants and my maidservants, by My Majesty and Splendour, I have honoured your resting place and generously endow what I have given you, for you all will be granted, in Heaven, ﴾<em>chambers beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally. Excellent is the reward of the righteous workers</em>﴿ [29:58] for you obeyed Me in fasting in a month the sanctity of which is exalted and the right of which has been mandated. My angels will admit my servants and maidservants into Paradise.” The Imam, Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad (as), then said: "This is for those who fasted anything of the month of Rajab, whether it be in the beginning of the month, its middle, or its end.”
